Is there nothing like SET NOCOUNT ON; in plpgsql
Is there any option like SET ANSI_NULLS ON in plpgsql.
Do we append # before the temp table names in plpgsql, like we do for
MSSQL ? In case no how do we create a temp table in a function in plsql?

For functions that return setof or complex types, you can do it as
select * from Proc_ConferenceSummary(...) as alias;

For simple functions you can just use:
select functionname(...);
